We'll be there around then too! Fly your yellow ribbon, maybe we'll see each other!

Anne Marie, it was an unforgettable experience. The only warning that I would give is to have a fair level of fitness if you really want to enjoy it. We had to walk fairly fast to keep up with a hungry Cheetah. Even though we did not have to walk far, it was a bit of a trot. I was very grateful not to be a smoker.

The bird doesn't sing because it has answers, it sings because it has a song.

I have done a few visits to this Park, the last one stayed in one of the mountain cabins for a few nights. A question that always comes to mind is why no mention of leopard? I can not believe that in an area like this there are none if one considers the amount of leopard that still are to be found close to towns in the Western Cape (according to work done by the Cape Leopard Trust). Any comments as to why this may be?

Wow, then you've been really lucky, Kay123.We've been with Michael on a nightdrive two weeks ago and only saw 2 aardwolf, porcupine and a caracal. Not to mention lots of antelope including a new born. Plus a cheetah... One of the best drives ever! Michael was great explaining everything.That was only fair regarding the boring nightdrive we had in Karoo NP some days later.

Just returned from my 4th visit. Pleased to hear that Lion will be released into the Park. Makes the trip from Jnb worth it. Did elephant ever occur naturally in the area? Nice progress photos of the nest.
